| ownership: | I own this lens |
| compared to: | Sony Zeiss 2.8/35 mm ZA Zeiss Batis 2.0/40 mm CF |
| price paid: | 695,00 € |
| positive: | Small and lightweight, great look and feel of the build quality, short focusing distance, weather sealing, aperture ring, focus hold button, AF/MF switch, internal focus design |
| negative: | No OSS, therefore only a "4" in the build rating |
| comment: | Sharp, extremely sharp from f/4. I can't see any difference at f/5.6 compared to the 40 mm Batis. However, the 40 mm Sony is much smaller and lighter. The sharpness comparison with the 35 mm Sony-Zeiss is clearly in favour of the 40 mm Sony. Despite the small form factor, the new 40 has all the controls you could wish for. For me, the ideal lens for inconspicuous street photography. Highly recommended! |
